Profile: Despite his 6’4 frame, Walters is not overpowering. He throws five pitches and has a nice 10-mph separation between his fastball and his changeup. He’s a swing man, capable of either starting or relieving. Walters’ K rate is surprisingly good considering his 87 mph fastball. In 351 IP in Triple-A, he has a lifetime 8.7 K/9 and last year posted a 6.6 K/9 in the majors. But he will not be in the rotation on Opening Day and will probably be in the minors to start the season. He has no fantasy value on Draft Day but is a name to keep in mind should injuries hit the Cardinals’ pitching staff. (Brian Joura)

The Quick Opinion: Walters has some potential for strikeouts. But he will not be in the rotation and has no value on Draft Day.

Profile: Walters was one of countless minor league contracts the Twins handed out to pitchers in the offseason which ended up paying dividends on the big league roster. Well, I use the word dividends lightly, as Walters pitched decently well in the first handful of starts before getting rocked and finally hurt. He missed time from mid-June until September, and his 6.12 September ERA didn't convince anyone in the Twins brass that he deserved anything other than an invite to spring training in 2013. Walters' breaking balls get pretty good movement, but he has no location on his curveball at all -- so he barely throws it -- and his slider is pretty much his only plus pitch. It wouldn't be a shock if Walters made a handful of starts for the Twins in 2013, but he's not in the long-term plans and shouldn't be in yours as a fantasy owner, either. (Brandon Warne)

The Quick Opinion: Walters was part of the parade of pitchers in Minnesota, but he'll only rain on your fantasy parade if you pick him up.
